Students Are Trying To Cancel My Bookshop For Selling Literature On Slavery

According to the proprietor of the bookshop, university students have attempted to close it down because it sells books about suicide and enslavement.

Tasha Berks has run Bookmark, a second-hand bookshop in Falmouth, for over 20 years, but claims that ‘woke’ students have recently come into her shop to ‘check’ if her collection is ‘racist’.

The 58-year-old chastised the Gen-Zers for their overt rudeness towards her and for taking pictures of books so they could subsequently purchase them online. 

She contended that a lot of the problems in the region might be attributed to Falmouth University’s expansion, which has allowed enrollment to more than double year since 2010. 

She told MailOnline: ‘I’ve had students come in and tell me I can’t have books on suicide and slavery on display.

‘One boy was taking photos of a book, I said, ‘I hope you’re not just going to buy that cheaper online’ but he said he was checking if it was racist.’

She said: ‘As a trader, I have never been more depressed because of the way young people are quite rude to me.

‘It’s not all of them – most are nice people – but I’ve had students come in and tell me I can’t have books on suicide and slavery on display.

‘The university has got too big, there are 7,000 students living in houses local people used to live in. 

‘It’s a beautiful place and I can understand why they want to be here, but they don’t understand working-class fishermen and that’s what this town was.

‘In the last three or four years most of the people we used to see all the time have left. I wish more locals would come into town and we would see old friends again, but they stay away.’

Residents also took issue with the town being called a “cultural void,” pointing out that it has several independent stores, art galleries, and yearly oyster and sea shanty festivals. 

Following the designation of Falmouth as the most dismal location to live in Britain, incensed residents accuse second-home owners of sapping the community’s vitality. 

An annual poll put Falmouth ahead of places like Crawley in West Sussex, Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, and Alloa in Scotland. 

Savage reviews on the satirical website iLiveHere, where people leave honest and brutal assessments, branded the area as ‘bland and boring’ and said it had an air of ‘soul-destroying mediocrity with a gaping cultural void’.

Celebrities like Paul Martin from Flog It! and author Joseph Conrad have formerly had homes in the town, which has the third biggest natural harbour in the world. Properties there sell for an average of £400,000.

Although slavery has existed throughout human history, some people become upset when they witness acts they believe to be discriminatory.

This should not be happening because these students have no idea what can happen if you cancel history.

They should all be given a book on the ‘Salem Witch Trials’ and see how similar their behaviour is. The only difference is they have smartphones instead of pitchforks.

These snowflakes represent today’s national disgrace.

It appears that these pitiful dullards have forgotten the lesson that we should learn from history, especially the mistakes made in the past, and ensure that they don’t occur again.

Erasing the past teaches us nothing, and we will eventually repeat the same mistakes.

They need slapping back into reality, and all this rubbish is being driven by the current education system, by so-called educated people who have never worked in the real world, just education.
